Blend lime juice, olive oil, kelp & water at medium speed.
Slowly add the ground sesame seeds.
Continue blending until the mixture is like thick heavy cream.
Notes: Add more sesame to make mixture more paste-like. Then this paste can be used for making hummus.
* The kelp acts as a mild thickening agent. This recipe works just fine without it. The kelp would add some salt to the mix, so if kelp isn't used, a pinch of salt is in order.

Tahini is a Middle Eastern pantry essential. It is the foundation for many Middle Eastern recipes like hummus and baba ghanoush. Tahini can be prepared homemade or purchased at a Middle Eastern grocer in a can. It is called tahini or tahina, depending on the region. INGREDIENTS: 5 cups sesame seeds 1 1/2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 350. Toast sesame seeds for 5-10 minutes, shaking the seeds frequently with a spatula. Do not allow to brown. Cool for 20 minutes. Pour sesame seeds into food processor and add oil. Blend for 2 minutes. Check for consistency. The goal is a thick, yet pourable texture. Add more oil and blend until desired consistency. Yield: 4 cups Storing Tahini Tahini should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. It will keep for up to 3 months.
